Description

Description Freakuence!
A beautiful, well-crafted three-way speaker from Harbeth. The SHL5plus XD2 delivers a natural and faithful sound. Open and very realistic. Is the design a nod to the past? Not at all—this is what Harbeth was and is, but they continue to innovate. Each new series performs at a higher level.
General description
The Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 is a three-way monitor speaker known for its natural and detailed sound reproduction. Featuring a 200mm RADIAL4™ mid/bass driver, a 25mm ferrofluid-cooled tweeter, and a 20mm dome SuperTweeter, this speaker delivers a wide and balanced soundstage with impressive dynamics and clarity.

The design of the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 is based on the BBC tradition of thin-walled, open-back cabinets, which contributes to an open and transparent sound. This approach ensures accurate reproduction of the midrange and a spacious stereo image.

The Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 is easy to drive with a wide range of amplifiers and is optimized for placement on stands, so that the tweeter is at ear level for the best listening experience.

Background information
Harbeth’s SHL5plus XD2 speakers embody Alan Shaw’s design philosophy, which emphasizes natural sound reproduction. The speakers utilize carefully engineered Radial2 polymer materials for the woofer, ensuring accurate and clear midrange reproduction. The cabinet is crafted from high-quality, sustainably sourced woods, while the internal wiring and crossover components are of the highest quality to ensure optimal signal integrity. Precision-engineered in England, they deliver a warm, authentic sonic signature.
Brand history
Harbeth, founded in 1977 by Dudley Harwood, a former engineer at the BBC, is known for its high-quality loudspeakers. The brand gets its name from an amalgamation of Harwood and the name of his wife, Elizabeth. Harwood introduced the polypropylene cone, an innovation that changed the speaker industry by offering better frequency response and less distortion than traditional paper diaphragms.

In 1986, Alan Shaw took over the company, leading to further expansion and refinement of the range. Shaw remained true to the philosophy of natural sound reproduction, making Harbeth a favorite among audiophiles. The partnership with the BBC strengthened their reputation, with models such as the Monitor 40 used in professional environments.

A key development was the introduction of RADIAL™ technology in the 1990s, a proprietary plastic material that significantly improved the performance of their speakers. Harbeth continues to make speakers by hand in England, with a strong focus on quality and detail. Today, the brand is respected worldwide for its faithful reproduction of sound, staying true to its roots and small production capacity to ensure high quality standards.

Reviews & awards | Harbeth SHL5plus XD2

OHHIFI

rates the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 with a score of 9/10 and praises its exceptional midrange tonality, which renders vocals and acoustic instruments with rare fidelity. Although bass extension is limited in larger rooms and the speaker is less suited for genres such as electronic music or modern metal at high volumes, it remains a top recommendation for lovers of jazz, vocal music, classical chamber music, and well-recorded singer-songwriter material. The SHL5plus XD2 is praised for its smooth, non-fatiguing treble and wide soundstage, and is easy to drive with a variety of amplifiers. The design is handcrafted in the UK and offers excellent build quality. Drawbacks include limited bass extension for larger rooms and the lack of stands, which must be purchased separately. For those who already own the previous generation, the improvements are incremental.

High Fidelity

highlights the powerful scale and fantastic naturalness of the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2’s sound. The speakers combine precision with resolution, creating a cohesive and detailed soundstage. The midrange is presented in a more open manner than in previous models, resulting in a faster and clearer definition of the sound. Although the new generation is slightly less silky than the previous one, this is offset by a greater amount of detail and a natural sense of warmth.

Audiostereo.pl

notes that the Harbeth SHL5plus XD2 is a substantial monitor speaker, with dimensions comparable to those of an average floor-standing speaker. The speaker’s design is based on two fundamental principles: controlling and utilizing cabinet resonances, and precisely tuning the crossover network based on extensive measurements and simulations. This approach results in a speaker that delivers a coherent and detailed soundstage, with precise temporal and spatial definition and a clear articulation of sound attacks.

HomeTheaterHifi.com

describes the Harbeth SHL5plus XD as a speaker that delivers the delicacy, power, and bass of much more expensive models, while being gentle on amplifiers. The speaker is praised for its detailed midrange, extended highs, accuracy, and musicality, as well as its surprising dynamic performance. Although the investment is significant, the performance justifies the price, and the SHL5plus XD is considered a new benchmark for passive speakers.

Hifi.co.uk

emphasizes that the Harbeth SHL5plus XD is a very modern loudspeaker with a design reminiscent of the past. All frequency ranges are reproduced evenly, without any single range standing out. The typical resonances sometimes heard in listening rooms are absent, and the relatively lightweight cabinet is intelligently engineered to prevent resonances and keep all frequency ranges tightly controlled. The sweet spot is wide, ensuring that the soundstage remains virtually intact even when the listener is not sitting exactly in the center.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this.
